I'm fed-up with scammers. This jerk called today said to call Officer Julie smith back. I phoned it back they said goodafternoon IRS. The recorded call says, at the end of their message TAKE CARE. This is a scam, the IRS never phones you, they usually send a certified letter to the door if you do owe!! smdh
Received an automated message saying that I owed taxes and must return the call before "action" was taken. When I called back the guy said he was with the IRS. I laughed at him and then he hung up on me. I've tried calling back several times but it seems they've blocked my number. What idiots!!! The IRS never calls!! They only send correspondence through the United States postal service. What a joke!! Get a real freaking job, morons!!!! Stop wasting my time!!
Got a call from this number. Recorded message from Julie Smith "Officer with IRS". Called back to see what this was all about. A guy answered "Good Afternoon IRS". I said I was returning a call from Julie Smith and he hung up on me. I called back and the phone picked up but they never communicated to me. Maybe it's a cell phone because there was background noise. Language was foreign and since I don't know I can't say, but feel as though it was Middle Eastern or Indian.
There is a fairly common IRS or "tax scam" being practiced by scammers on both Canadian and USA residents.
USA tax payers should read this:

Short answer:
The IRS never initiates a contact via phone.
They always send a snailmail first.
